BBC’s Maryam Moshiri was getting ready to go live yesterday for her lunchtime news bulletin, and she was caught on camera giving the middle finger before reading the news.
Well, needless to say, the viewers were not happy, and the clip went viral.
So today, she apologized and explained what happened, “Hey everyone, yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery.
“I was pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0.. including the fingers to show the number. So from 10 fingers held up to one.
“When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.
“It was a private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air! It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone. I wasn’t ‘flipping the bird’ at viewers or even a person really.
“It was a silly joke that was meant for a small number of my mates. ♀️”
As someone who has worked in TV news, I believe her story. But then again, I have been caught doing so many things on camera I should not have been doing because I didn’t know it was on me!
Good Morning America’s Trevor Ault did a liveshot at a turkey farm this morning about how much Thanksgiving is going to cost us this year.
He thought it would look good if he held one of the turkeys while he was giving the report. And that turned out to be a very bad idea. That is because the turkey flew out of his arms. But not before doing a Will Smith and slapping him in the face with one of his wings.
And guess who is going to be carving the turkey at Ault’s house this year? He is. And he is going to do it with a huge smile on his face!
Oh, and Trevor. That is what you get for not waiting until after Halloween to do a liveshot about Thanksgiving.
Fox Detroit 2 decided to have some fun, and they asked Lee Thomas to talk about Masterdating. The anchor was struggling to tell the story about the newest trend in dating, where you go out on dates with yourself and treat yourself to the gifts your partner would give you if you had one.
Why was this so difficult for him? Because Masterdating sounds a lot like masturbating. And boys will always be boys! But then again, I am a girl, and I would’ve been giggling throughout the story too!
And I just want to give a huge shout-out to Maurielle Lue for not helping her co-anchor. That made this even funnier!
Now, back to Masterdating. I have been doing that for years. Turns out I am a really shitty boyfriend.
Al Roker posted a video of his Today co-anchor, Craig Melvin, eating a popsicle. And I am not sure it is safe for us to watch at work.
That is because he licks the tip of it until he is ready to put his whole mouth around it, and then he sucks on it. Kind of like how I do a blow job. Tell me I am not the only one who thought that when they watched this?
Yeah, it is a slow day. And this is how exciting as it gets.
Salma Hayek was on Good Morning America today to talk about playing herself in Black Mirror. And the hosts wanted to know how she feels about not seeing black hairs in the mirror.
The actress recently shared a photo that revealed that her hair is graying. However, she didn’t have grays on the news show. So what is her secret? It is mascara because she is too lazy to dye it.
After the actress revealed her secret, she said, “George [Stephanopoulos], you should try it.” He laughed, but you could tell he didn’t like what she said.
While he might not have liked being called out, I agree with Hayek. He has been gray since he started with GMA, and it would be nice for him to change it up. I mean, that show needs something to give it a jolt. It is such a vanilla snoozefest.
